Only if you insist that we require a physical meeting.

Which means you never encountered me, I'm not "Here,"
where ever your "Here" is.

No, sorry, our routine lives do leave plenty of room
for non physical encounters. We have them all the time.

Whether aliens are buzzing the globe or grunting, shitting
in their hands and throwing it at each other, the way we
will find them is through spectral analysis. We will detect
the Biosignatures and/or Technosignatures in their atmosphere
from a very great distance.

Pretending that little green men are here, buzzing the earth,
probing the bums of hapless victims stolen from their beds
as they sleep -- they're hiding. They don't want us "To
know" that they're here. They shower us with plausible
deniability. So we can't find them, many have tried, but they
can't hide their planet!

Nope.

So all we've got to do is point a James Webb or similar tech
at their world, perform a spectral analysis & identify it as
the home & haunt of *Aliens!*

Life on earth has been detectable for BILLIONS of years. The
fact of our industrialization has been detectable for more
than a century. So if aliens are within 100 light years of
us and are AT LEAST our level of technology, they know that
we're here. You assume that they sat on that knowledge, I
assume they'd immediately leap to that next step.
